Jackie was many things, a cook, a mother, and friend, but nothing fulfilled her as much as being a great grandmother, to Elliott, Pierce, Addison and Audrey.

Jackie loved to fight for the underdog, and the outcast. She believed in second chances and gave them often. Jackie loved to take trips and enjoyed singing in the choir at Geyer Springs Baptist Church. Jackie was a homemaker and mother for several years, before working and later retiring from the United States Postal Service. Jackie loved a good reason for a new outfit, or matching jewelry and was rarely seen without it. Jackie loved Elvis Presley, square dancing, and channel 7 news. She was most famous in her family for her world-renowned spaghetti and loved serving it to her family.

Jackie will lovingly be remembered by her grandchildren as "Mimi" and all the fun, and laughter they had together.

The family would like to thank Hudson Memorial Nursing Home and Gentiva Hospice for their great care and service to her in her final days.
